Questions

Can the soul turn its back?
Walk away from the one
Whose every fibre matches the burning, noon-day sun?
When you catch a glimpse of fire,
Can anything else take you higher?
What if you are already bound?
Promised so long ago
Will the spirit understand or fight to let go?
Strength of conviction is what we need
Unless the fire we continue to feed

Kaake

From the high-up perch, surveying the sound
Eyes that bore right through the ground
A jet-black stare that pierces the core
A feigning laugh, what a bleeding bore
The joke's on you mister, can't you see?
I've got wings - so much better to flee
As you stumble and bump around
I'll catch the wind - I'll never be bound!
Only the one who circles higher
Will I allow to call me liar
Until that day, you turn your head
And remember well, what I've just said

Sorry again!

I am so sorry that my postings have missed twice in a row now! I have been extremely tired and I actually forgot last night to post a poem. Naturally, that means today I post two! Hope you like them.

Haiku #3

The sky cracked open
Lightening seared the dry, burnt air
As we watched the show

Too old

Here we are at ten past two
Wondering just what the heck to do
Instead of getting our needed rest
We broke bread with the very best
And now the sheets are calling us
Saying we are too old to fuss

Lapse

Sorry about the lapse
It was the air perhaps?
Or maybe I forgot
Because it was too hot!
But the most likely reason
Is this lazy summer season

Imagination

When your hand touches mine
Is it my face you see
Or an exotic beauty
Who winked at you on the street?
But it's okay - two can play at this game
And your guilt eases my own shame
Since my imagination
Is truly my biggest distraction

Too much

Blackness envelopes me
Flashes of light all I see
Clausterphobia closes in
Thoughts of vile and delicious sin
Things aren't always what they seem
But through it all a light will gleam
Catch that thought and hold on tight
Lest you drown and sink from sight

Get Away

In my mind I get away
To where dolphins laugh and we get to play
Where sunshine's plenty and cares are few
Where I'm just me and skies are blue
A place where smokey fires smoulder
And new friends like rubbing shoulders
Where every path is yet untrod
And my horizon is really vast and broad
In my mind I get away
To where dolphins laugh and we get to play

Black Keys

A sinister kid rocked the stage
A booming drum let loose the rage
Ten thousand fans all joined in
Creating a heavy, harmonious din
The base line says black keys are right
And we bathed in an everlasting light
